Durham - Thanks WW for a copy of his Of a Liberal Education [1845]. Many of WW's points have gained prominent notice at Durham University and 'many of your suggestions have been already brought into practice for some years'. The viva voce in classical examinations for honours has worked very well and TC thinks it should be adopted in Cambridge. Some branches of scholarship can not be tested any other way. Viva voce has also worked well in mathematics especially when it relates to natural philosophy. Needs 'an observer to conduct our observatory work'. This will be under TC's superintendence. If he likes, he can instruct engineer students in surveying. His salary will be £80 per year and he will be provided with a 'small bachelors house, coals, and a servants wages paid'. He will also get £50 a year for teaching the engineers. Does WW know of someone suitable.
